About the Studio
I'm Janice, and I've been teaching piano in the Montclair area for over a decade. My studio is a place where students of all ages feel safe to learn, make mistakes, and grow.
I believe every student has their own musical voice β my job is to help them find it. Lessons are tailored to each student's goals, whether they dream of playing classical repertoire, exploring contemporary music, or simply enjoying the piano for life.
